[Myocardial scintigraphy and radionuclide ventriculography in myocardial infarction (author's transl)].
149 patients with acute (n = 75) myocardial infarction and 74 post-infarctions, angiographically confirmed, were investigated by 201T1 myocardial scintigraphy and subsequent radionuclide ventriculography. Quantitative evaluation of the scintigram showed 201T1 storage defects in 92% in the acute stage in 79% in the later stage. The sensitivity of identification of the posterior wall infarction was consistently markedly less than for anterior wall infarctions and could not be increased by additional application of 99mTc methylene diphosphonate. By the combined application of myocardial scintigraphy and radionuclide ventriculography the functional effects of the infarction can be described non-invasively.
